A single sentence chilled my body and froze my heart.
Xie Tianyi couldn't understand why, in just two days, his mother, who had been constantly concerned about his safety and even scheming for his safe retreat, would suddenly ask such a heartless question.
Qin Yan sobbed, "I've been researching information about Cultivators these days. After becoming a Cultivator, one's self begins to be replaced bit by bit. Outwardly, it appears as a drastic change in temperament... but the reality is that the true self has been killed, and Remnant Consciousness Whisper inherits the memories of the original body, becoming an entirely new person. How can you prove you're my son and not the murderer who killed him?"
Before Xie Tianyi could answer.
Qin Yan continued, "My son was well-behaved, though a bit naive, but things like torturing someone to death, he would definitely not do... You've done such things, how can you possibly be my son?"
